Jorge Ramos Visits Jon Stewart On ‘Daily Show’; Talks Immigration Reform And Gives Advice To GOP

Considered one of the most eloquent, credible and powerful voices of Hispanic America, Jorge Ramos is one of the most respected journalists of the community. He has won eight Emmy Awards and the Maria Moors Cabot Award for excellence in journalism. He has been the anchorman for Univision News since 1986 and has appeared on NBC's "Today," CNN's "Talk Back Live," ABC's "Nightline," CBS' "Early Show" and Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor, among others. He's also a best-selling author of "No Borders: A Journalist's Search For Home" and "Dying To Cross.

Ramos' trajectory include interviews to important political figures such as Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Evo Morales, Hugo Chávez, Terry Porter, Rafael Correa, Joe Biden, Barack Obama and many others. Ramos is also anchoring Fusion's flagship program "America with Jorge Ramos," becoming the first newscast he's done in English in his 30 year career. And in an effort to promote it, he stopped by Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" on Thursday night and discussed the changing face of the U.S. as well as the impact Hispanics are having on the country's culture and political system.

"You've earned this authority and gravitas in that community... and now 30 years later you find that you are in the most relevant and fast growing demographic, and political voice, in the country right now," Stewart said to Jorge of his role with Fusion. Fusion is a new network owned by Univision and ABC, and is directed towards a young, diverse and inclusive America with a unique mix of smart and irreverent original reporting, lifestyle content and comedy programming. Jorge precisely represented what fusion means in his appearance on "The Daily Show" captivating the audience with his Latin charm, witty jokes and intelligent responses.

Ramos described how when he first arrived in the U.S. in 1983 there were only 15 million Latinos; now there are 55 million. "As you know, we love to make babies," he joked, adding that as the population grows there will be "more tortillas sold in this country than hamburger buns." On a more serious note, however, he said candidates will no longer be able to make it to the White House without the Hispanic vote and expressed hope that the first Latino president is on the horizon. "They think they can hide, and they can do politically expedient things like not putting immigration reform to a vote, but Latinos will remember that," Ramos said of Republicans in Congress.

"They have a problem, if they don't pass immigration reform they can say 'Adios' to the White House in 2016." Ramos also criticized President Obama for failing to "keep his promise." The anchorman noted that what he said he was going to do in his first term, he is starting to do now, but at the same time "His message is truly contradictory." Stewart joined in the sentiment and jokingly replied, "I feel like saying, finally to you guys, welcome to America." "America with Jorge Ramos" airs weeknights on Fusion at 8:00 p.m. Watch the complete interview to Jorge Ramos below!
